UR | Chapter 6

It was nearing the end of the workday.

[Let’s meet at home today.]

Yujin, who checked the message late, wore a puzzled expression.

It was Monday.

It was the first time Jihoon had called her like this on a weekday.

‘Is something going on?’

Before she could even worry, a small laugh escaped her lips.

Why did she keep trying to give feelings to a man who, just a few hours ago, was looking at another woman with affectionate eyes?

[Got it.]

Knowing she didn’t have the right to refuse, Yujin sent a compliant reply and hurried to prepare to leave work.

“You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I bought some food.”

It was strange enough that he suggested meeting on a weekday, but there was something else odd.

When Yujin entered the house, Jihoon, who usually tried to satisfy his own desires first, led her to the kitchen. On the dining table was a shopping bag from a hotel bakery.

“Let’s eat together.”

At those words, Yujin looked at Jihoon.

There had been times when they ordered room service and ate together after being intimate in a hotel during a business trip.

But that was merely an act of providing minimal nutrition to their tired bodies. Feeling awkward eating properly in front of Jihoon, she would leave most of the food, and then Jihoon would take her back to bed.

However, this was the first time they were having a meal alone at his house.

“Is something going on?”

So she finally asked what she had been curious about all along.

Jihoon shrugged his shoulders.

“Do I need a reason to eat a few sandwiches? Let’s eat. I skipped lunch, so I’m hungry.”

When Yujin tried to get a plate, Jihoon forced her to sit at the table and set the utensils himself. Then, like someone who was really hungry, he started eating the sandwiches first.

‘Then let’s have lunch there. Your treat, oppa.’

The voice of the woman who had visited the research lab with Jihoon earlier was still vivid in her mind.

It seemed like something unexpected had happened, as he was supposed to have lunch with the woman.

“……”

Yujin held the sandwich in her hand without saying a word. But before she could take a bite, Jihoon gestured to the seat next to her.

“Take those with you later.”

“What?”

She hadn’t noticed before, but there were two large shopping bags on the dining chair. They were from a familiar boutique.

“I prepared something a bit flashy. Make sure you’re ready next time.”

Realizing what was inside the shopping bags, Yujin bit the inside of her cheek slightly and said,

“…… Thank you.”

Before attending an external event for the first time since joining the company, she had visited a boutique that only dealt with famous overseas luxury brands with Jihoon.

“It’s an important occasion, so you should pay special attention to your attire.”

When Jihoon emphasised this separately, Yujin unknowingly made a troubled expression.

The only clothes she had for special occasions were the black two-piece suit she wore for interviews. Even that was something she had bought on a three-month installment after much deliberation at a discount store.

“Yes, I understand.”

She answered clearly, but she felt overwhelmed.

She was just happy to be recognized for her abilities, but she felt pathetic for being so excited without knowing anything.

Should she borrow from a friend, or maybe the dry cleaner rents clothes, she wondered, when she received a text from Jihoon on her way home from work.

[Come to the parking lot.]

That’s how she ended up visiting the boutique with him.

The store clerk, who greeted Jihoon politely, picked out a few outfits that seemed suitable for Yujin. As she repeatedly tried on and took off clothes under the guidance of the staff, Yujin felt that something was definitely wrong, but Jihoon was nowhere to be seen.

Later, the clerk handed shopping bags to Yujin and said, “The president has already paid for everything.”

“What?”

“He said he had an appointment and left first. He asked me to tell you to wear them tomorrow.”

The first thing Yujin checked when changing clothes in the fitting room was the price of the clothes. She had an inkling when she entered the boutique, but the price was even higher than she had guessed.

It was bewildering to hear that Jihoon had already paid for everything.

“Just a moment.”

Buying some time, Yujin immediately called him.

However, Jihoon responded indifferently, as if he had expected this.

“Can you prepare better than this with your abilities, Kim Yujin?”

It was a statement that pierced her heart.

“This is an event that affects the company’s image. I can’t ruin my work just to respect your pride, Kim Yujin.”

Jihoon’s flat voice chilled Yujin’s heart.

“Stop being stubborn and do your best. I’m just investing in my company.”

The truth that he wasn’t considering her as a person but was merely focused on his business was a cold reality that became more apparent the more she thought about it.

So Yujin did her best to ensure Jihoon’s investment wasn’t wasted.

After that, Jihoon frequently sent Yujin to the boutique. Sometimes, when something urgent came up, the boutique staff, who knew Yujin’s size, would send clothes via quick delivery.

If Han Jihoon had shown even a hint of personal interest, she might have been excited or happy. But the more she realized it was all just business, the more hollow she felt.

Still, there was a time when it was too overwhelming, and she refused.

“President, I’ve already received too much. I understand your intentions, but I think it’s enough.”

After much deliberation, she finally said it, but Jihoon just chuckled as if it wasn’t worth responding to.

“Then sell the things I gave you before. I don’t care.”

And he added, “Let’s end making busy people tired with such issues.”

With Jihoon’s warning, Yujin found herself unable to return the things he gave her.

Today was no different.

“How many times do I have to say that I’m thinking about my company, not Kim Yujin?”

She could already predict what Jihoon would say if she refused.

“Thank you.”

With that, Yujin got up to make coffee. It was for Jihoon, who usually paired coffee with his sandwich.

She carefully brewed the coffee and dissolved a piece of sugar in it.

“Why bother with such things?”

Even as Jihoon said that, he drank the coffee as if it was just what he needed.

“Assistant Manager Kim Yujin, aren’t you having coffee?”

“I can’t sleep well if I drink coffee in the evening.”

Honestly, she felt like she had told Jihoon this more than five times.

But rather than expecting Jihoon to remember, it was easier and quicker to just tell him every time.

Dinner ended with just two bites of a sandwich.

Jihoon, who had finished his sandwich neatly first, was staring at her, making it hard for her to eat.

“Why don’t you eat more?”

Even as he said that, Jihoon was getting up from his seat. He said he’d wash up first and wait, so she should eat slowly, and then he went into the room.

Han Jihoon was a person with a quick temper, so he expected Yujin to be ready by the time he finished washing up.

Jihoon never paid any attention to Yujin, but Yujin, who remembered everything about him, hurried to the living room bathroom to wash up thoroughly. Then, wrapped in a bathrobe, she went to Jihoon’s bedroom.

After sitting on the bed for about a minute, Jihoon came out, shaking his wet hair. He asked Yujin, who was sitting quietly.

“Aren’t you curious? Why I called you today.”

Wasn’t there always just one reason this man called her?

There was no need to say it out loud, so Yujin blinked slowly, and Jihoon answered on his own.

“I think I asked the wrong question. I meant, wasn’t it strange that I called Assistant Manager Kim Yujin when it’s not even the weekend?”

That was something Yujin had found puzzling too.

She was worried if something was wrong.

But the man standing in front of her looked so fine that her worries seemed unfounded.

“I don’t think there was a clause in the contract saying we only meet on weekends or holidays.”

“……”

“You said to come whenever you wanted, President.”

When Yujin answered deliberately without emotion, Jihoon nodded.

“As expected. Assistant Manager Kim Yujin is smart. That’s why I like you. No need for long explanations.”

“……”

“That’s why I can’t help but like Assistant Manager Kim Yujin.”

Even though she knew that the word “like” was just a formal shell, Yujin’s mind went blank. In that moment, Jihoon pushed her onto the bed and swiftly threw off her robe. As if no more words were needed, he climbed on top of Yujin.

His high nose bridge, sharp jawline, and arrogantly curled lips.

Above all, facing Jihoon’s intense gaze that seemed to pierce through one’s mind made her swallow dryly.

Han Jihoon looked impressive at the office, but when he was stripped bare and breathing heavily with desire, her body heated up on its own.

“Assistant Manager Kim Yujin, what are you thinking?”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Nothing, I’m not thinking anything.”

“Really? That’s completely different from me.”

Looking at Yujin’s eyes, which were shaking with tension, Han Jihoon said.

“I was just thinking about how Assistant Manager Kim Yujin becomes a mess under me.”

As Yujin swallowed hard enough to make a sound and averted her gaze, Jihoon grabbed her chin to make her look at him. Then he began to kiss her lips roughly.
